Review:

 

Uphonic is a new division of Adodisc records based in Amsterdam and I must

admit that this compact disk is encoded with some real quality psytrance with

electro and techno influences (not at all recommended for the full-on melodic

lover - this to avoid another 'minimal sucks' screwed review). the style is a

bit between the Creamcrop and Resonoise releases so very dancefloor

orientated. #1 is produced by M.K. Poulsen from denmark and you can hear the

typical Creamcrop style in here , ... but imo the track loses a bit interest

after a few minutes . #2 yes , just great ... i realy like this style ... psy

electekk at it's best ... ultimate groove and in the middle a very unbalaced

moment followed by an even more crazy groove ... a dancefloor killer !! #3

this is a surprise , Irie has this nice touch , very refreshing ... liquid-ish

sounding structures . #4 well , this ain't bad but somehow it doesn't fit in

this compilation , nice atmosphere in here ... very israeli sounding , a!

bit to much for my taste ( the use in samples could have been better imo) . #5

a Navajo insane stomper , play this loud ... this is wicked :) #6 german

tech/trance . nice rolling bassline but the percussionwork isn't good

positioned imo , it get's this out of equilibrium effect while focusing on it

. #7 another hard and rolling bassline , this track is very deep ... and has a

great groove , as usual Bamboo Forest doesn't disappoint me at all. finishing

with #8 , a bit dubby (like vibrasphere) , but then on the pumping side , this

guy from berlin takes it to the edge (and a bit over too , of you know what i

mean).... well , this first Uphonic release is not bad at all although the

coverart is lame and this gives you this amateurish influence ... but the main

importance of this project is finished ... highlights to me are 2,3,5 and 7

... i give this a psychedelic 7/10 rating . give this a try :)
